The question needs an answer because it involves so many illegals and anchor babies

Right, and so how many hypotheticals does that beget? How about the teen who is disabled and receiving special treatment only available in the USA? Or the mother dying of cancer, two months to live. Or Grandma, who has been living here 35 years?
How many of these questions should the candidate answer? Because, you know, they are never ending— limited only by Cruz’s clever rejoinder- “Look, everyone agrees with should secure the border— and in that we’re in agreement, let’s do that first. After that’s done, we can discuss the rest.”
Irrelevant. The answer to the basic question is simple: Deport the illegal parents and the minor anchor babies go with them. We will not separate families. If minor children have some legal relative in the US, the might be allowed to stay. Otherwise, minor children stay with the parents.
All those rare cases you throw out do not change the fundamental policy that would cover 98% or more of cases. Such cases would be reviewed individually.
“Look, everyone agrees with should secure the border— and in that we’re in agreement, let’s do that first. After that’s done, we can discuss the rest.”
Cruz doesn't think the USA can walk and chew chewing gum at the same time? Build the wall and begin law enforcement concurrently. Actually, the enforcement can begin the first day we have a president who will enforce the law. The wall would require some funding, and maybe legislation depending whether the Secure Fence Act of 2006 is still in effect except for funding.
